Aaron Burr, Sir

Verse 1

Why do they cheer, why do they fear

Speaking my name, even when I’m not near

Shadowed in salons, I sip and I listen

My mind makes moves, intentions hidden

Hungry for a place at the table, but restrained

Every word measured, like whiskey, contained

Always at the edge, never at the center

Quiet ambition, never a dissenter

Verse 2

Heard all the rumors, seen all the glances

A hundred eyes watching, missing their chances

Say less, wait more—let them wager

Gossip and gold, I’m nobody’s savior

Patience, patience, it’s currency I trade

In candle-lit corners, all my plans are laid

Recognition comes, but caution comes first

My tongue turns truth into verse

Wait for it, wait for it—that’s the curse

Chorus

Aaron Burr, sir, never letting them know

Aaron Burr, sir, watch me lay low

Hold my fire, say the word—then I go

The cautious man never gets burned, so I go slow

Aaron Burr, sir, still in the room

Aaron Burr, sir, waiting for my boom

Opportunity hiding, but it knows my name

Aaron Burr, sir, to win is no game

Post-Chorus

Wait for it, wait for it

Wait, wait, that’s the plan

Wait for it, wait for it

The world keeps changing but I stand

Verse 3

Measured every line, observed what they say

Quiet storms brewing, but I keep gray

Every revolution needs a controlled mind

Not just loud guns and fife behind

I keep my secrets close, my voice even closer

Silent resolve makes an excellent composer

A nod here, a smile there, it’s all part of the show

I’ll outlast every rival, they’ll reap what they sow

Chorus

Aaron Burr, sir, never letting them know

Aaron Burr, sir, watch me lay low

Hold my fire, say the word—then I go

The cautious man never gets burned, so I go slow

Aaron Burr, sir, still in the room

Aaron Burr, sir, waiting for my boom

Opportunity hiding, but it knows my name

Aaron Burr, sir, to win is no game

Bridge

Let the impulsive crash on the rocks

I’ll bide my time, ignore the clocks

Maybe history is written by the loud

But patience wins quietly, shrouded from the crowd

Chorus

Aaron Burr, sir, never letting them know

Aaron Burr, sir, watch me lay low

Hold my fire, say the word—then I go

The cautious man never gets burned, so I go slow

Aaron Burr, sir, still in the room

Aaron Burr, sir, waiting for my boom

Opportunity hiding, but it knows my name

Aaron Burr, sir, to win is no game

Post-Chorus

Wait for it, wait for it

Wait, wait, that’s the plan

Wait for it, wait for it

The world keeps changing but I stand
